What was the first year for FX4? I have a 99 4x4 "Off Road"....Am I correct in thinking that the "Off Road" edition is the same as far as skid plates but the FX4 has the suspension and wheels and color coded body molding? Am I correct here?

Just a real quick question while we are on the subject, i just bought my 2000 f150 in august when I saw the truck i thought it was a regular 4x4 cause it had a regular 4x4 sticker, but when we went inside to sign the papers to buy it the dealer told me that it has the fx4 package but how can i really tell????
To answer your question and the right above. You don't have the the FX4 package because it didn't start until 2002. They pretty much lied to you right to your face, although it may have the same items as the fx4 (minus the rancho shocks).

Look under the truck and see if it has skid plates...that's the easiest one to see....then Rancho shocks.....
Biggest thing about having a FX4 is the 5.4 and the LS diff with the 3:73 gears. That's how mines equipped and it's a great combo.....

I have the straight 4X4 package with my 2001 Screw.... I do have the skid plates, and now have Rancho shocks since I put them on over the weekend, but have the 3:55 gears, which is a bummer since I have 35's on it.... seems to want to downshift too much...
Other than that, I thought the main difference was the skid plates and 3:73 gearing in the FX4
Other that... LOVE my truck.

Did you have to do any fabricating to fit the skid plates? Where did you get them?
